SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVED COMPLIANCE IN RESPIRATORY THERAPY

摘要

Systems and methods to provide respiratory therapy may determine a target pressure level in a current therapy session on the successful completion and/or compliance of a patient (for example for at least a threshold amount of respiratory therapy) during one or more prior therapy sessions. By gradually increasing the provided pressure level, patients may improve compliance, comfort, and/or other indicators of how well-tolerated the respiratory therapy is for a patient.

主权项

1. A system for providing respiratory therapy to a subject having an airway, the system comprising:
a pressure generator configured to generate a pressurized flow of breathable gas for delivery to the airway of the subject; one or more sensors configured to generated output signals conveying information related to one or more gas parameters of the pressurized flow of breathable gas; one or more processors configured to execute processing modules, the processing modules comprising:
a compliance module configured to determine an amount of respiratory therapy that the subject received during a first therapy session, wherein the compliance module is further configured to determine whether the amount meets and/or passes a threshold amount of respiratory therapy;a target module configured to determine a target pressure for the pressurized flow of breathable gas during therapy sessions based on a prescribed therapy regimen and determinations by the compliance module pertaining to prior therapy sessions such that, for a second therapy session subsequent to the first therapy session, the target module determines the target pressure for the pressurized flow of breathable gas based on one or more determinations by the compliance module pertaining to the first therapy session; anda control module configured to adjust levels of one or more gas parameters of the pressurized flow of breathable gas based on the determined target pressure.
